Featured Speaker: Victoria Harrison, MA, LMFT
Victoria Harrison, LMFT, began life as an anxious infant, born while her father survived the Battle of the Bulge and her mother lived with her conflictual parents.
She consulted with Murray Bowen about "her miserable situation" after graduating from Rice University, cutting off from her rural Texas family, and moving to Baltimore, Md.,
for graduate school. Details about her study of Bowen theory since 1975 are available as an interview for Murray Bowen Archives Oral History Project at www.murraybowenarchives.org.
Ms. Harrison brings lifelong curiosity about anxiety and family systems in evolution and human functioning to think about one's own family, clinical practice
and research based in Bowen theory to the FFRN annual conference. You can read about her published articles and books under Faculty at www.thebowencenter.org and at www.csnsf.org.

Observing and Managing Anxiety in Differentiation of Self
Goals and Objectives:
1. To define and illustrate anxiety as "the capacity of life to adapt to threats, real and imagined," rather than as a psychiatric pathology.
2. To examine circumstances experienced as threats in one's own family, and to consider the impact of these experiences over three generations.
3. To identify these anxiety reactions in one's own physiology and behavior.
4. To practice ways of interrupting these anxiety reactions that can be taught to others in therapy
